Answer:
900g of POCl₃
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
To solve this question, we'll require the equation of reaction.
P₄O₁₀ + 6PCl₅ → 10POCl₃
Molar mass of P₄O₁₀ = 283.886 g/mol
Molar mass of PCl₅ = 208.24 g/mol
Molar mass of POCl₃ = 153.33 g/mol
But Number of moles = mass / molar mass
Mass = molar mass × number of moles
Mass of POCl₃ = 153.33 × 10 = 1533.3g
Mass of PCl₅ = 208.24 × 6 = 1249.44g
Mass of P₄O₁₀ = 283.886 × 1 = 283.886g
From the equation of reaction,
283.886g of P₄O₁₀ + 1249.44g of PCl₅ produces 1533.33g of POCl₃
I.e 1533.33g of reactants produces 1533.33g of product (law of conservation of mass)
Therefore, (225g of P₄O₁₀ + 675g of PCl₅) = 900g will give x g of POCl₃.
1533.33g of reactants = 1533.33g of products
900g of reactants = x g of products
x = (900 × 1533.33) / 1533.33
x = 900g of POCl₃
